Bittersweet

you're too ludicrously calm

for a morning like this

when the ceiling hangs

from both my eyelids

and you smile

as if there's heaven

in the coffee that you sip

and hum a little tune

as you gently sway your hips

and i'm filled with bittersweet

had a vision of you

the way you seem to swim

as i barely just scrape through

my body burns

but only in your bliss

the efforts to breathe you in

have all but come to this

frustration and awe

in equal amounts

the need to suck then spit

your tongue out

your hand moulds around my face

and i lean into your palm

and i know for all the world

i could never do you harm

but bittersweet

is bittersweet

and that

is how i feel

the virtues of a sinner

are all

i offer you

but bittersweet

is bittersweet

and that

is how i feel

the virtues of a sinner

are all

i offer you
